is one of the pioneers of Inyo County, California. He was born in Clark County,
Illinois, July 20, 1826, and when he was quite young removed with his parents to
Coles County, same State, where he was reared to agricultural pursuits, his
father being a farmer. In their family were five sons and two daughters. At
the age of thirty, the subject of our sketch came West and engaged in teaming,
which has since that time been his chief occupation. He now owns a handsome
piece of property in Inyo County, his post office address being Big Pine.
